Want to run AI chat models in n8n without paying for OpenAI or burning through tokens?
In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you how to set up a 100% FREE and local LLM using LM Studio and connect it directly to n8n.
We’ll use open-source models like DeepSeek or Llama and completely bypass OpenAI's cloud — no API keys, no subscriptions, no hidden costs.
👉 What you'll learn in this video:
🤖Install and use LM Studio to host LLMs locally
🧠 Download and setup DeepSeek or Llama for free
🔗 How to connect n8n’s Chat Model to a local model (DeepSeek or Llama)
💡Testing your local LLM with a live prompt
✅ No API tokens required
✅ No OpenAI dependency
✅ 100% local and offline
Whether you're a no-code builder, automation enthusiast, or dev — this setup gives you full control over your AI workflows.
